Makeup has amazing transformation properties and is part of what makes idols look so great on stage and in photo shoots. It’s also an artistic form in and of itself! However, these eight idols prove that bare-faced looks can be just as stunning. They’re all-natural and still glowing!
ITZY’s Ryujin
While her behind-the-scenes snaps from shows and shoots have some gorgeous makeup looks featured, Ryujin also has a lot of posts on her Instagram where she’s not wearing any makeup at all—and she’s every bit as beautiful! Her dark eyes and naturally pigmented lips stand out.
TXT’s Yeonjun
One of K-pop’s most-followed male idols on Instagram, Yeonjun is a known fashionista. However, he’s also not opposed to an all-natural casual look! Even in blurry photos, it’s amazing how striking his features are without even a smudge of makeup.
aespa’s Karina
One of the most talked about visuals of K-pop’s fourth generation, Karina of aespa proves that she’s just as beautiful with or without makeup! The au naturale look lets her beauty marks shine through, and the natural flush on her cheeks is super adorable.
NCT’s Jaemin
With his strong jawline, high cheekbones, and naturally prominent brows, it’s perhaps not surprising that Jaemin of NCT looks just as handsome without makeup as he does with. It’s much more of a laid-back style than fans normally see, and it looks great on him!
LE SSERAFIM’s Kim Chae Won
Not just bare-faced, but even in a face mask, Chaewon of LE SSERAFIM proves that her visuals are unbeatable! Despite her wearing a post-cleanse clay mask, her cute face shape and soft features can’t be hidden. It’s definitely not just makeup that makes her beautiful, that’s for sure!
ATEEZ’s Hongjoong
It’s not even just the fact that without makeup, Hongjoong seems to glow—he also really knows how to style it! The dressed-up look with a relaxed, no-makeup face is the perfect combo for a day out in the city. Add in the glasses, and he looks like he jumped straight out of a K-drama!
Red Velvet’s Seulgi
Given how packed the schedule of an idol is and the constant styling, it’s pretty expected that Seulgi of Red Velvet would prefer more natural, low-maintenance looks in her downtime. From tomboy outfits right out of the ’90s to cuter, more feminine styles, she makes it all look good without makeup!
BTS’s V
Even through a computer screen photo, BTS’s V has a face that will make you want to stop scrolling and stare! His natural glow is amazing, and his features prove that he doesn’t need makeup to be one of the best visuals in the business. There’s no stopping his good looks!
